Polish FM says backing Orbán “helps Russia”

Poland’s Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski accused Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán of effectively aiding Russia, arguing that political support for Orbán aligns with Moscow’s interests.

In a post on the social media platform X, cited by Caliber.Az, Sikorski wrote: “Whoever supports Orbán helps Russia. It really is that simple.”

Moskwa wspiera Orbana bo ten sabotuje Unię Europejską, blokuje sankcje i pieniądze dla Ukrainy.
A więc ten, kto wspiera Orbana, pomaga Moskwie.
To jest naprawdę tak proste.

He accused the Hungarian leader of undermining European Union decision-making, including by sabotaging collective measures, blocking sanctions, and obstructing financial support for Ukraine.

Sikorski also stated that Russia has a vested interest in keeping Orbán in power. He has previously criticized the Hungarian prime minister, including suggesting that Orbán aims to continue purchasing Russian oil.
